New Guardians of Middle Earth vid shows off mah boi Nori

11:30 AM on 10.05.2012

A new PEGI 12 (don't you love that dude's voice?) character vignette has been released for the upcoming console MOBA title Guardians of Middle Earth, and it features a few of my homeboys, Nori and Wulfrun.

Nori looks like he's primarily an ability-based character, with mid-range survivability. His main role is to get all up in the towers grills and smash them into oblivion -- or protect them.

Wulfrun seems like a full-on tank. He's capable of using "dark forces" to summon all sorts of cool sh*t and rock people. Yea, I'm down with that. If you're a hardcore Tolkien fan and are wondering where the hell he's from, it's War of the North.

I love MOBAs, so I hope this game is good. Other than the upcoming Blizzard All-Stars, there aren't many casual-friendly MOBA games. This could be a great gateway drug.

WOW, tho not included in the full article, the thumbnail was a shot of the 77 animated Hobbit movie.

Like a boss right now. Props.

I do like that dude's voice. It's awesome.

Also, I really wanted to play this game, but my xbox died on me. Sure looks very good though.

Meh, I'm kinda over playing games in the Tolkein-verse. On the other hand, I am SUPER PSYCHED for the Hobbit movie as I loved that story growing up. *shrug*

Blake Stone

I saw the DARK FORCES, got excited, then got let down.

And that's my story.

ElektroDragon

I just hope the multiplayer matches don't take 3 hours to complete.
